A while ago I asked[1] the www-style list for a solution to selecting
the parent of a focused form input, which (once again) kicked off the
discussion about a parent selector (which is still no option, as far as
I can tell).
Now I've come across another use case and probably another solution to
the same problem:
Suppose you have a form with a text input and a submit button. Now you
want to hide the submit button to un-clutter the interface, but show it
as soon as the user focuses the input element.
<form>
<input />
<input type=submit />
</form>
form input[type=submit] {
display: none;
}
Would it be possible to implement a "some descendant of this element is
in focus" selector? Something like :focused-child oder :contains-focus.
form:contains-focus input[type=submit] {
display: block;
}
